It's official — you and your significant other have decided to move in together.

Before you break out the bubbly and toast taking your relationship to the next level, though, you're going to have to decide which of your spaces to call home, sweet home.

In some cases, that's not a problem. One partner may have the perfect space for two, while the other has, well, roommates and a futon.

But when each person has a great home he or she is reluctant to leave, the issue gets a lot more complicated.

That's the premise behind the new weekly reality series "Your, Mine or Ours," which premiered on Bravo earlier this month.

On the show, interior designer Taylor Spellman, a Wethersfield native, and her co-host, real-estate agent Reza Farahan, team up to help couples living under separate roofs figure out which residence they should share.

"In each episode we help a different couple decide if they should renovate one of their current places and move in there, or if they should combine their budgets to buy a new home," says Spellman. "It's much harder than it sounds."

Spellman speaks from experience.

"I've gone through the process several times," says Spellman, who is living by herself in a 500-square-foot Manhattan apartment. "Almost everyone can relate."

Spellman, who graduated from the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts and Wethersfield High School in 2001, moved to New York to study dance with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, then graduated from Fordham University with a degree in business.

An interest in design took her in a different direction. She started August Black, a New York City-based interior-design firm specializing in bachelor-pad makeovers. The niche-market business caught the attention of Bravo, who shot a pilot based on her concept.

"The show didn't get picked up, but Bravo promised to find a new project for me," says Spellman, who runs a design company, Taylor Spellman New York. "It took several years, but they did."

Bravo shot 10 episodes of "Yours, Mine or Ours." Couples featured on the show, which was filmed in California, Georgia and Pennsylvania, range from twosomes on a quest to move in together before getting engaged or married, to a mother and son looking to move back under one roof.

"They're young, they're old, they're straight, they're gay, some are divorced, some have kids, some have pets, some have long-distance relationships," says Spellman. "In all of the cases, there's a lot to juggle when making a decision and not all of them can do it." (One couple, unable to reach an agreement about where to live, broke up.)

Couples are presented with four different choices and Reza and Taylor vie to win each couple over with their ideas. Spellman displays 3-D design renderings showcasing how to transform each of their existing spaces to accommodate the other, while Farahan offers two properties new to both of them.

"Reza and I do our best to win each couple over to our suggestions," says Spellman.

Couples keep viewers guessing as they weigh their options and make their decisions. Each episode ends with the obligatory home show reveal. The show, says Spellman, is a nice break from the darker content permeating much of television today.

"We help solve a problem, there's great real estate, and everyone comes to some type of conclusion," says Spellman. "It's all positive and entertaining and maybe it helps those viewers who find themselves faced with a similar decision."

"YOURS, MINE OR OURS" airs 10 p.m. Mondays on Bravo.
